Multiply Your Power

Walk and fundraise with supporters from the entire Texas Gulf Coast region to help the Lupus Foundation of America find a cure for lupus. Walk to END Lupus Now & 5K Fun Run- Victoria is a half day of fun with food and activities for the entire family!

Why Should You Participate

• More than 1.5 million Americans have lupus.
• The effects on individuals with lupus and their family and friends can be life diminishing, chronic and life-threatening.
• Lupus has no known cause and cannot be cured. It is one of the most misunderstood and misdiagnosed diseases in the world.

1. Register for the Walk.
2. Set a personal fundraising goal. We suggest about $300, minimum.
